Gregory Polek has spent his entire career in aviation journalism with AIN, starting as a proofreader and assistant to then-managing editor Mary Mahoney in 1995 after serving an internship with&nbsp;New Jersey Monthly&nbsp;magazine and completing his B.A. degree in English/Writing at New Jersey’s William Paterson College. By 1997 Polek accepted a position as an associate editor, covering the regional airline beat for&nbsp;Aviation International News&nbsp;in place of retiring industry veteran Don Anderson. The assignment took Polek across North America and Europe to profile regional airlines varying in size and mission from the likes of floatplane operators Kenmore Air and Chalk’s Ocean Airways to regional jet operators such as SkyWest and American Eagle. Today, in his dual role as Air Transport Editor and International Airshow Editor, Polek writes, edits, and manages AIN’s commercial aviation content while overseeing each of the company’s daily international air show publications in Paris, Farnborough, Singapore, and Dubai. Most recently Polek has assumed oversight of daily coverage of the Helicopter Association International’s annual Heli-Expo convention.

Production line snags have forced Embraer to reduce its delivery forecast this year from 145 to 135, the company revealed last month. Embraer blamed “difficulties found in increasing the production of the E190 and E195 lines of aircraft, especially with regard to the assembly of the wings and to delays in the supply chain.” The Brazilian manufacturer claims to have taken “adequate measures” to increase next year’s total production from 160 to 170 to compensate. In July Embraer assumed control of production of metallic wing parts for the E190 and E195 from Kawasaki after the Japanese company failed to satisfy needs for a production increase.
